Architecture & Design Faculty: Advanced Architectural Studios

Adjuncts are essential to Liberty University’s mission of Training Champions for Christ. It is expected that an adjunct member models a personal commitment to the goals and values of Liberty University, engages in an active commitment to, and experiences personal spiritual formation within a biblically informed Christian worldview. Adjuncts should view their teaching, engagement with students, and scholarship as a means to a significant educational end.

They should strive to employ a variety of techniques for the development of good learning conditions, view each student as a unique individual, and insofar as it is possible, provide for individual differences, abilities, and interests. Liberty University seeks adjunct architectural educators and professionals who will make significant contributions to the innovative teaching of architectural subjects and courses within the new Architecture & Design Program.
